  "hey ariel." i say to her while she's grabbing a textbook at her locker.

  "hey zach!" she says looking up.

  "so i was wondering if you had any plans tomorrow?"

  "lets see, tomorrow's a wednesday, right?" she asks.

  "yes it is."

  "well, i've got nothing." she replies.

  "sooo..." i say putting my hands in my pocket. "would you like to go out with me?"

  "well, david asked me out earlier today, and gave has been crushing on me forev-." ariel says.

  "WHAT?!" i whisper yell.

  "i'm just kidding." she says giggling. "pick me up at 6."

she walks away just leaving me standing there.

i love it.

i see you driving around town with the girl i love,

and i'm like forget you,

i guess the change in my pocket wasn't enoug-

i was peacefully listening to music until my brother starts banging my door.

  "why are you still home?" he asks.

  "why wouldn't i be?" i ask.

  "well my friend has a little brother who's having a party tonight and i said you'd be there." he says.

  "WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?!" i yell at him louder than i ever have.

  "because i thought you could get a new girlfriend." he said. "since you haven't had one since like the second grade."

  "fine." i said rolling off my bed.

as i pass my brother he pats me on the back.

as i enter the doors of some lane high school party, i spot the one girl i've been crushing on.
